Freeze Protection in Solar Only mode

The SunTouch freeze protection function is active once the optional air sensor is installed and enabled
(see page 8). Freeze protection is enabled whenever the outside temperature is 36º F or lower. When freezing
conditions are detected by the air sensor the filter pump will be switched on and water will circulate continuously
through the system. It's important that the air sensor be permanently placed in the shade and away from windy
locations. In the event of a power failure, the system will be unprotected. Recirculating water to protect your
system from freezing is not recommended in climates where freezing temperatures occur frequently and last for
extended periods.
If you live in a location where freezing conditions occur and there is no air sensor installed
CAUTION
or the air sensor is not enabled, your system will be unprotected.
